Learning to Respond to the Little Boy Inside You Like a Man

The little boy inside you is reaching for the man he could be and asking for help.

As a man, there is nothing worse than feeling less than a man. It digs deep into your guts, right to the core… And you can’t cry about it. And you got no one to lean on. So what do you do? Man up. Suck it up and keep moving until something breaks.

A little boy will react to his environment and scream when he doesn’t get his way. Usually making the entire situation worse for everyone involved. And then he never takes responsibility for his actions becuase he isn’t mature enough to see the higher perspective or the gravity of the situation.

I know, I get it. It’s hard to admit. Brothers, we’ve all been there. We’ve acted like little boys when life is asking us to be strong and act like men…

How does a man respond?

He takes the time to cultivate his nervous system, which means learning to anchor his breath before reacting. Holding the sensations in the body without judgment. Feeling the sensations before they turn into uncontrollable emotions. Not freezing when provoked by the feminine. AND… she will provoke you to test your boundaries. Learning to hold the feminine emotions and grounding your partner with structure and support will neutralize her anxiety.

Simply… learning to create a gap between stimulus and reaction. And in that gap, creating a response that is helpful, grounded, that gives structure and direction. Learning how to guide that little boy inside you will dissolve the pain. Mentor him. Teach him how to be a man. And part of that journey is learning to anchor your mind with your breath, even when everything is screaming inside you.

No man wants to be a little boy… So why do we act like it? And worse, why do you beat up that little boy inside you when you feel like a failure?

No one can save you but yourself… because you have to take the action that creates the results. You need the discipline and patience to hold the vision beyond the problems in your life. To see beyond the little boy screaming and breathe in the bright future.

And sometimes as men… We do need some structure, guidance, and mentoring from the outside. And knowing when to ask for help is an important part of the journey as the hero in your own story. You have to meet the guide to cross the threshold, and again when you face the biggest challenges of your life. And again, when you are resurrected before the hardest fight of your life.

Luke had Yoda. The Karate Kid had Mr. Miyagi. Katniss had Haymitch.

It’s ok to ask for help.

Honestly, I never learned this stuff from my father, my brother, or anyone in my life. I learned the hard way, on the fireline, by modeling toxic masculinity until it failed. And that’s why I love helping men learn to connect with their little boy so they create the man they want to be from the inside out. For me, it took health projects, financial collapse, and a few divorces to wake the fuck up. And start working on becoming the Man I knew I could be.

As always, I’m still sharpening my sword, and that's the lesson of life, isn’t it? The purpose of life is to transform… I’ve walked this healing journey myself. That’s why, after years of deep personal work and client feedback, I developed Neuro-Somatic Integration, a collection of proven mental and emotional techniques that rewire your mind, body, and energy system.

What would it feel like to look in the mirror and see a strong and powerful leader who has his life organized with a clear vision? A discipline that other men admire and commend presence that enters the room before you do. The authentic man whom people gravitate to for advice, wisdom, and love.

When was the last time you opened the directions or asked for help? Transformation starts when you start mentoring the little boy inside you.

THE THREE STEPPING STONES TO BECOME A POWERFUL MAN

  • Let go of the childhood events that didnt allow the little boy to grow up with Mental and Emotional Release®

  • Build a strong community of brothers that will sharpen your sword with the Heart Fire Brotherhood

  • Join the Heart-Fire Mastery Skool Community and learn to anchor your mind and body with mindfulness

I get it. Man to man… We never read the directions or ask for help… But what would happen if nothing changes? If you keep being a little boy when life asks you to be a man? How much longer will your partner allow you to play small, freeze, and not stand up for yourself? How much longer can the poor discipline and bad habits stack up? When will it be enough to just ask for help?

You don’t have to be at the end of your rope to find help…
